The Beard Awards

Yes, my interest was piqued. But they're for food-writing and Corby cleaned up (what a year for the Atlantic). If you're in any way interested in food and even if you're not (I confess it's a blind spot for me), Corby's channel is never boring. If you've ever wondered what fresh turkey eggs taste like, why trendy food isn't necessarily good food, or just enjoy posts about the charms of weeds, or the chemistry of a great sandwich, it's all here. Bon appetit.
